Whether or not Bullet takes off remains to be seen, but the next few years will certainly be an interesting challenge for both companies.

However, as we’ve already took a view at AMD and PhysX relationship history, future of that AMD-promoted GPU Bullet and it’s implementation in games (not Bullet SDK itself) isn’t looking so bright and clear for us.

Like they said “It’s up to the game developer to decide how many threads are used”, i’d say:
It’s up to the game developer to fix all bugs, gfx and shaders.

Hardware manufacturers can provide any configurations they can/want for testing. But they should never cross the line and help (work closely) the developers with any piece of code. They have already provided solutions, SDKs (with documentations).

Developers should fix all bugs by themselves, that way they can actually learn things and fix bugs more quickly in patches and future projects.
